My screenshots were a bit antiquated. The newest version has an option to select whether you'd like to keep a certain repo after installing something. > (Like the 10.1 packman repo, i only used to install libxine1 > W32codecs-all onto 10.2, when the 10.2 packman-repo was not yet > available...) > > Does this module allready have the repo source-urls installed? The repo urls are in the "metapackage". Which is the xml-file. This is not very different from normal package management, and it also uses libzypp. The "service" that it really adds is "information": * What's the repo url * How do I add the repo * What packages should I install to achieve something * How do I install packages Take the multimedia example, I think it takes about 5 minutes on average for new users to discover lacking multimedia support, then they want that added instantly. Can't wait to learn about repositories and package management first. The metapackage is kind of comparable to patterns, add-on cds and such, it's a method for making common actions faster and simpler to do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
